    The last time I saw Netscape, it was a cut-down AOL service (cut down because it was cheaper and went directly to the Internet). That was probably around 2006.

    I don't know when the software part of Netscape finally vanished. It seems like Netscape 6 had already come and gone by that time.

    @simsa03 I knew that Trump cancelling the deal with Iran was a serious mistake. This is clearly visible now that Russia's invasion of Ukraine proves that giving up (or not building) nuclear weapons gives other nuclear armed nations a green light to attack at any time.

    Shapes today. We watched a video about dodecagrams (12-pointed stars) and they’re trying to replicate it.

    There were already some such requirements for federal agencies. If you've ever tried to use a web site of a federal agency, you'll see how little those things get enforced.

    I do remember that Target used to have a site built primarily on Flash. The state of California sued because it wasn't accessible, and Target quickly changed their site (even at one point working through Amazon).

    From 1971: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25-8el1FLzo

    When the boy across the street brought this record over, we all loved it. But I expected it to be a lot older than 1971.

    1. Humans have been predicting eclipses for thousands of years, but it’s harder than you might think
      from The Conversation
      Calculating when and where exactly we can watch an eclipse in its full glory can be surprisingly hard.

    We're not in the zone of totality, but we're in the "above 90%" zone. Still a few minutes out. 5 year old Grandson_3 is enjoying it. 3 year old Grandson_4 isn't into it much. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/293734

    We took the kids to a tulip festival. Based on the lavender festival that sonTwo and my niece LG used to attend with my mom, I expected big fields of flowers and a small vendor area. It turned out to be the opposite, but we still had a good time.

    @clacke I had a college instructor who said if there's any chance of misinterpretation you should be as clear and specific as possible. So write "x/(yz)" or "(x/y)z" as appropriate, even though "/" already has implied grouping.

    @clacke Oh, yeah. We use it in the lower grades. And it is only later that they inform you why it looks that way, right around the time we switch to the front-slash.

    Also, I remember one instructor using the back-slash for truncated division (integer portion).

    I have long thought this, but I am surprised to hear that an elected Republican agrees.

    Grandson_4: Grandpa, can we go outside?
    Me: Do you like going outside? Let me look in your ear and see.

    /Me checks GS4's right ear.

    Me: I see broccoli. You like broccoli.

    /Me checks GS4's left ear.

    Me: Oh, there it is. The backyard. I guess you do like going outside. Let's put your shoes on.
